Or if the commodity be discerned bad, you must have that or none. If your necessity forceth you to buy, it shall force you to buy such base stuff. This is a grievous sin in all professions, especially amongst Apothecaries: because with their injustice may be also mixed a spice of murder. But you will say, we compel none to buy our commodities: we but show them, and make the price. But it is craft tender plagas, etsi agitaturus non sis: to lay snares, though you drive not men into them. Or be it what it will, yet rather then refuse your money, they will protest to give you the buying. Yea rather then fail, they will sell it you cheaper, then before they swore it cost them.
